Checking my bee inspection records
Showed I needed to check the big hive
3 supers, and a very busy entrance / exit
Showed I needed to check the big hive
3 supers, and a very busy entrance / exit
The sun was out but a little windy
So I donned my bee suit and went in
Wow busy hive
Checked carefully for the queen on every frame
Halfway through I was under attack
Better abandon this they are getting quite angry
Put the hive back together and went inside
Two hours later just walking past the enclosure
A bee spotted me she was obviosuly on sentry duty
Chased me all round the garden and ping smacked me one on the cheek
I have bought a zap ease which is supposed to suppress the urge to scratch
Maybe it helped
Overnight my eye gradually closed
No pain
Just ugly to look at
Oh dear am I the right person for bee keeping
